1:16:00
So her testimony
was considered partial
1:16:04
and therefore void.
1:16:10
Then it was my turn.
1:16:24
Wake up, gentlemen.
1:16:27
Order.
1:16:29
I'm sorry, Your Honor,
but two jury members were asleep.
1:16:32
They might regret it afterwards.
1:16:33
Especially when it's a trial
based on bad luck.
1:16:36
Because Strabliggi had bad luck.
1:16:39
Years ago, he made a mistake,
but he paid for it
1:16:41
with 10 years of his life.
1:16:44
I'd rehearsed what I planned to say,
1:16:47
but I used different words.
1:16:50
I poured them out in disorder.
1:16:53
He forgot all that.
1:16:55
But you won't, unfortunately.
1:16:58
You're not here to plead his defense.
1:17:01
I wish I were.
1:17:04
The justice system
is not on trial here.
1:17:06
I have my own opinion of justice.
1:17:10
It should be fair, but not fierce.
1:17:13
It should understand everything
about the man it judges.
1:17:16
The fault and its causes.
1:17:18
The witness forgets that the defendant
is not your average everyday man,
1:17:21
but a known criminal.
1:17:23
Who among us,
at least once in his life,
1:17:28
has not wanted to kill someone
in a fit of rage
1:17:30
for driving badly
or swiping a parking place?
1:17:34
It occurs daily.
1:17:37
An easy excuse.
1:17:41
He's only got one excuse, chance.
1:17:43
Chance put a man in his path
who did all he could to trip him.
1:17:47
You mean,
1:17:48
you want us to hold chance
responsible for this crime?
1:17:53
Exactly.
1:17:55
You should understand chance
and take it into account
1:17:57
and not judge him
on personal convictions.
